Q: In Colorado can I request the Court only apply my adult record when sentencing. Could determine either 3rd or 2nd DUI
I understand Colorado has no "lookback" period. But when sentencing and considering lifetime offenses lifetime should be considered Lifetime on adult record correct?
A: Juvenile convictions (like most adult convictions) cannot generally be used in the case-in-chief to prove your guilt or innocence, but are usually considered for sentencing.

A: Your entire driving history is included in the "look back" period. Any DUI or DWAI convictions are counted as part of the lifetime period.. A Judge must follow the law. Good Luck.
